Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.24%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.14%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.11%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Horn not working 3.34%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.13%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.83%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (7.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.5%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.99%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (3.54%)
